Three weeks have passed since Erol Bulut was relieved of his duties following a dismal start to the season. The Bluebirds sit rock-bottom of the Championship and have been under the care of interim boss Omer Riza.
An array of names have been linked with the vacancy, including former Middlesbrough and Birmingham City manager Tony Mowbray. More recently, reports indicated Chelsea legend Claude Makelele was in talks about taking the reins.
Despite various links, Cardiff still have a vacancy and the clock is ticking as the return of Championship football approaches. Cardiff are due to host Plymouth Argyle at the weekend, before welcoming Portsmouth to Wales for a midweek showdown.
Following movement in the market, here are the current BetVictor frontrunners to land the job.
